Salary

There remain too many types of delivery drivers to accurately gauge earning potential, but most of these jobs are full-time and pay hourly rates normally determined by region. Expertise comes into play as well, but you may find yourself earning under $10 an hour to start. Those who deliver items that require payment, such as take-out food, can expect closer to the minimum wage with tips supplementing the salary. Naturally, someone delivering oil is paid a higher hourly wage than someone dropping off dry cleaning.
